Photography is a great way for students to connect with the natural world and explore the nature areas of their school grounds.
During the program, the students, from up to three classes each day, will learn the techniques to take great photographs using the natural areas of their school as the subject.
What living and non-living things can we find in the natural areas of the school?
What are the techniques used to capture interesting effects in photography?
During a presentation, the students will be introduced to the techniques photographers use to capture great nature photographs. This session will include an introduction to the editing of photos to create visual effects.
Each student will be allocated their own iPad to use and together with their partner, will visit the nature areas of the school to capture a series of nature photographs.
After capturing their images, the students will select their best images and apply the editing techniques to create their final photo.
The images will be sent to the school to print and display.
NOTE: Gibberagong staff can work within established school times on the day. Please contact the Centre to disucss.
